I purchased a freehold property in Benllech but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Benllech and has limited impact for conveyancing in Benllech but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.

is it true that all Benllech conveyancing solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

We had chosen solicitors located in Benllech on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional fee for handling the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Virgin Money?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Virgin Money but by your Benllech conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Virgin Money panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I acquired a house in Benllech last 18/10/2024 and to date it is still not recorded with the Land Registry. It was part of a new estate and my lawyer told me that it may take twelve months to complete the registration formalities. I have spoken with HMLR directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Should I be concerned?
